BMO Capital analyst Evan Seigerman notes that a U.S. district court issued a ruling in favor of Acadia Pharmaceuticals (ACAD) in their Nuplazid patent infringement lawsuit with Aurobindo, confirming today that Aurobindo infringed on claims 4 and 5 of Acadia’s 11,452,721 U.S. formulation patent. Today’s announcement likely extends the lifespan of pimavanserin and could extend the company’s patent protection from 2030 to 2038, removing a “key overhang,” says the analyst, who reiterates an Outperform rating and $24 price target on Acadia shares.
